^^ Should add, on the Lula tip... what has followed are credible & constant death threats on Greenwald & his children, an attempt by the white supremacist neo-fascists in government to imprison him; he & his family have around-the-clock armed guards now. His & his husband's close friend (a Rio city official) was gunned down by the same reactionary forces 3 years ago because she advocated for marginalized poor, black & indigenous people & against exploitation policies of the neoliberal forces. His husband now continues her advocacy in parliament, and Greenwald amplifies it abroad. The military junta & neoliberal/conservative civilian governments before Lula, were put into power & propped up by our government here in DC - the current coup-government* wants to return to military rule because it's the only way their backers see the anti-poverty policies going away permanently. Either way, if they succeed, American liberals will have a hand in it - the same people whining about Greenwald for "associating with" bigots. It's cheap theater.

Point is, when liberals whine, and then fair-weather leftists feel pressured to echo the whine so as not to have their grievances dismissed (by those same narcissistic, cynical liberals) and risk losing subscribers or being called names on Twitter... the guy in the crosshairs is the one with integrity.


(*On topic: prepping their base by threatening the Supreme Court... something which a Bolsonaro failson was already doing years ago.)
